Walker Of The Worlds

Chapter 2010 Four Season Monarchs

The Saintess was acquainted with the Ever Spring Mistress for a long time and knew about her abilities too.

The Ever Spring Mistress was highly proficient in the Dao of Spring and was able to tap into its power that was not accessible to others. She had reached a level with it where only a few had ever reached since the creation of the cosmos.

Spring was the symbol of beginning and the signal of things that are to come.

As such, the Dao of Spring allowed one to do much more than was conventionally thought. The Ever Spring Mistress took this a step further and was able to ʼaskʼ the Spring questions.

Since Spring had existed from ancient times, it had seen many things. Similarly, most beings had witnessed spring and had been through it. As such, the ʼSpringʼ knew their history. It knew when they were born and when they were reborn.

It knew if they had a history that was unknown.

As long as a being existed, there was a high chance the Spring knew about them. Of course, how much it knew was limited, but over all these years, it knew a lot.

This was exactly what the Ever Spring Mistress had peered into. And what she heard, or rather… didnʼt hear, was shocking.

”How does he have no karma?” The Saintess questioned. ”Every being has karma… even if it is a tiny insect, it has a karma. If not from this life, then a past life.” ”I do not know… The Spring does not know. The Spring never saw his birth before this. It has only known him for 29 springs.” The Ever Spring Mistress answered. ”Whatever he is… perhaps it is the reason why the Great Being chose him.” She guessed.

The Saintess furrowed her brows upon hearing this, knowing that there wasnʼt much else she could learn.

ʼIf it is indeed the reason why the Great being chose him, then it is not good for me to pry.ʼ The Saintess thought to herself. ʼBut perhaps I might be able to ask him later… I need to know… for the Ancestral Serpents and the Sect.ʼ Lin Muʼs action of causing the birth of the Yin Yang Twin Serpents was more than enough for the Saintess to consider him special… An anomaly. He had done something that should be impossible at this time, and yet it had happened. Something like this couldnʼt be a coincidence, and as such, she wondered if there was something deeper within Lin Mu that he was unaware about. Something which had influenced all this.

~Sigh~

Seeing the conflict on the Saintessʼs face, the Ever Spring Mistress let out a rare sigh.

”If you really wish to know more, the Spring does not hold the answers. It only knows the beginning… to know the end, you need to go to Winter.” The Ever Spring Mistress stated.

”Winter… You mean the Fourth Season Monarch.” The Saintess asked.

”Indeed… The eldest among us four season monarchs, The Final Winter Celestial.” The Ever Spring Mistress confirmed. ”Only she would have the ability to know anything more. The Spring knows what has happened, but the Winter knows what might happen.” Hearing this thought, a thought appeared in the Saintessʼs mind.

”Do all four Season Monarchs have this ability?” The Saintess asked.

While she knew that there were four of them, she was only familiar with the Ever Spring Mistress and had never met the others. ”Only the Final Winter Celestial and I have this. Summer and Autumn… the Bright Summer Daoist and the Mellow Autumn swordsman cannot do this. They represent the period of transitions and have other abilities.” The Ever Spring Mistress explained. ”Iʼll keep that in mind.” The Saintess replied.

”But know this… The Final Winter Celestial isnʼt easy to talk to… itʼs even hard to reach her in the first place.” The Ever Spring Mistress warned. ”Even I donʼt know where she lives exactly.” ”If sheʼs winter then, she should be somewhere in the Northern Celestial Courtʼs territory, right?” The Saintess asked.

”Yes, but thatʼs the same as finding a needle in a haystack. Thereʼs a reason why even the Celestial court has a hard time contacting her. Itʼs also the reason why they always come to me for work.” The Ever Spring Mistress answered. ”The Final Winter Celestial does not like meeting others and is very reclusive. I donʼt think sheʼs even been seen in the last five hundred thousand years.” She added.

”Five hundred thousand years?” The Saintess was surprised. ”She hasnʼt been to the Celestial courtʼs gathering either?” ”No… Sheʼs even ignored them. She doesnʼt think of anyone.” The Ever Spring Mistress said in a tired tone. ”Even among us Four Season Monarchs, Iʼve only talked to her twice. Plus, she is of an older generation, so it is harder for me and the other two season monarchs to even talk to her when we meet her.” ”Older generation? How old?” The Saintess furrowed her brows.

”As far as I recall, she is the Second Generation Winter Monarch. While Spring, Summer, and Autumn, are all in the fourth generation now with us.” The Ever Spring Mistress explained.

”Second generation?!” The Saintess was shocked once more. ”Sheʼs that old of a celestial?” She hadnʼt expected that.

”Thereʼs a reason why even the Celestial court gave up on contacting her. Sheʼs older than their grand masters at this point.” The Ever Spring Mistress said. ”I donʼt even know if sheʼs going to pass her position. Thereʼs no news of her ever getting a disciple.” She added in wonder.

”And here I thought, you were so desperate to find a disciple because you were the last Four Season monarch without one.” The Saintess said in disbelief.

It gave the Saintess a lot to think about as well as gave her clues to what should be her next step. Something told her that, if Lin Mu were to learn this, even he would wish to know more about himself.
